Jennifer Reid and Poetic Justice

Jennifer was once described as having “irreverent puckish vim” in a mag. A poet and storyteller, beyond compare. With support from Poetic Justice. (John Baxter and Meshell Hardman)

She plays Barb in Shane Meadows’ The Gallows Pole, has opened for Pulp and John Cooper Clarke and performed for Chanel’s Metiers d’Art. She’s toured with Eliza Carthy for 18 months, and in 2025, took her songs to Aotearoa’s North Island to critical acclaim. She's back! Rooted in archives and oral histories, her work braids nineteenth-century music with the present: teaching, performing, researching, sharing, advocating and supporting spaces for memory and making in the tradition.

Joining Jennifer again is local poetry duo, Poetic Justice. (Meshell Hardman and John Baxter)
